    Food quality was absolutely incredible and the service was just as incredible! However, the kindness and hospitality from both Jay, our server, and Chef Charles was truly the best part of our dining experience. I just sold my 3 restaurants near the Gators football stadium so I am definitely am very picky yet both Jay and Charles completely blew me, my wife and 4 kids away! No trip to Nashville is complete unless you visit Ella’s by Chef Christian Petroni especially due to Chef Charles and if you are lucky enough to get Jay as your server!

    1st time at Sinatra’s and it did not disappoint. The ambiance was great, old school lounge feel. The service was great, food and drinks were very good. The alcohol was a bit over priced but expected for downtown Nashville. We enjoyed the live piano music and singing too. We will definitely be back.

    All I can say is this restaurant is awesome! We loved our experience here and we will definitely be back. The food, service and atmosphere were all better than I hoped it would be for my birthday dinner. My husband got the pork chop and it is delicious get it butterflied, the bed of dirty rice is very tasty. I got the Prime Rib which was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. A vegetable medley served with some entrees. We shared Oysters Rockefeller and creamed spinach.
